Title: Screenshots, but different
Post by: Cymric on April 21, 2005, 11:50:35 PM

In the current Amiga community, a screenshot of what your 'Workbench' looks like is cause for a lot of wows. To be honest, I find them boring as hell: you only see windows of system programs and perhaps a utility or two. Until I came across this site (http://forum.macbidouille.com/index.php?act=module&module=gallery&cmd=sc&cat=11). Those screenshots are genuine works of art. My favourite is depicted below---and despite its Escherian appearance, it was definitely not digitally altered or processed to produce the effect. The picture is genuine :-).

Go on, visit that site, you won't regret it. You know you want to.

Argh, it's funny, but I almost posted this when I saw it... while enjoying the 'Persecution Complex' of thinking "Amigans" should've been able to do it first and better (hint: cameras are getting almost cheap enough to stick one on the back of the laptop and not disrupt your field of view, though a bit of head-tracking and/or tilt sensing would be required to get the perspective exactly right)*...

Meanwhile, of course, Englebart beat everyone to the whole 'whatever you're working on genlocked over video' thing, and the Mac camp have been having a bit of fun with that, too -- see here. (http://www.cs.unc.edu/~smithja/facetop/)


*At which point it might just be cheaper to use a clear LCD with a one-way backing, though that makes backlighting an issue for a panel of much width, which is why we rarely see it.  Not to mention that they used to hide the driver electronics behind them, but that's been changing recently.
